I make eye contact no problem with the T I feel safe with and does not talk about my past or trauma. We deal with any issues that I had during the week. Now with my new EMDR trauma T that I am not have a great relationship with is a different story. I can not look at him at all! I look at the floor the entire time.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
